We scented our Limited edition stout soap with tobacco and bay leaf fragrance oil; we hope you love this special, rich, woody scent as much as we do. Available December 18on our website, Dwell local and Autonomywhile supplies last! Enjoy this fine Minnesota brewed and re-brewed stout without losing your faculties!

Yesterday Jon, Zoe and I celebrated our nephews, Ben and
Blaine’s High School graduations with family at my sister’s place in Oronoco.
We have seen a great deal of rain in southern Minnesota recently, the past 60
days or so… so it was so fabulous to see sunshine for the festivities. The sun
also shone on Adorn {Furniture Rehab} shop owner Melissa Wood’s wedding day!
Congratulations Melissa and Tony we are so happy the sun made an appearance on
your very special day! We got home from the party to find a package all the way
from Connecticut! The Great Soap Company Founder, Sandra Pike McShane made a
beautiful stepping stone featuring our logo. Sandra is one crafty bitch and
these fabulous stepping stones are her latest creative venture!

Sandra sent a
nice letter confessing her addiction to Morning Dew and shared excellent soap
reviews from her friends who got gift baskets (including Great soap) for
Christmas! We adore your thoughtful gift and are happy you love our soap as
much as we do!

While I was getting soap ready to ship to Connecticut I put
together a gift box for a benefit auction next weekend. I choose an image of a
vintage Indian motorcycle on a lovely wooden cigar box and loaded it with an
awesome selection of Great Soap. My little brother Greg and his girlfriend Jennifer
are collecting items for the ride away SMA silent auction next Saturday. Thanks
Greg and Jennifer for raising awareness and money for this cause and honoring the
memory of a precious little girl taken much too soon. Check out fsma.org to
find out how you can help.

The Great Soap Company is excited for warmer weather and a
little sunshine would be awesome. We're having fun working on new
products for you. We used local fresh goats milk in our soap and scented it with cut
grass fragrance oil, the interesting combination is currently curing. find out how it turns out right here on our blog. Have a fun, safe summer!
